Pussy Hunting Phnom Penh

Good nights sleep in the PC Hotel my first night in Phnom Penh. Power is back on so I go back to my room and prepare for a day and night pussy hunting in Phnom Penh. My boss at work once remarked Sleeping is for babies. Its all well and good getting a good nights sleep, but I am horny and need to lose my cherry this trip to Phnom Penh…

My cloths need washing and there are quite a few laundy shops dotted along street 51. One just across the road from PC Hotel, inside they offer massage too. Everyday things are still much cheaper in Phnom Penh compared to Bangkok, but rising, like the skyline.

Street 51

Get my shit sorted out and then decide to do some reconnaissance of Phnom Penh. Dont want to rely on taxis, motorcycle riders or tuks tuks unless really necessary. I got long legs and much of the mongering in Phnom Penh is within 10-20 minutes walking distance. Although crossing the road is risking you life.

I start the morning with some coffee and orange juice in the Walkabout. A few freelancers sat around, but I was careful not to catch their eye. The Walkabout is 24/7 and has rooms to rent.

heart of darkness

I head down street 51 pass the new Heart of Darkness. Plenty of bars along Street 51 and nightclubs and cheap budget hotels. The Golden Sorya mall is meant to be good for picking up Khmer girls in the evening and through the night but looks pretty dead during the day, but at least I know where it is now.

Gollden Sorya Mall

Attached to the Golden Sorya mall is a new nightclub called Pontoon. Pontoon is the main nightclub in Phnom Penh now. Apparently the local Khmer girls like Pontoon if no one else does. Best times for pussy hunting in Pontoon are from 9pm to 3am, not prime time for me. Probably not worth entering Pontoon until after midnight.

Creature of the night I am not, when pussy hunting come 9 to 10pm I want to be rapping up and heading back to my hotel room with a Khmer cutie to continue my nocturnal activities between the sheets.

Street 136

You can walk straight down street 51, pass all the hole in the wall bars, turn left straight down street 136, the other main red light district of Phnom Penh. The girly bars are mostly congregated at the riverside end of street 136.

Street 136

A few bars open from midday onwards down street 136, not many girls working the daytime shift though, more for your hardened sexpat and alcoholics who want to waste away the day.

Candy Lounge

From outside the Candy Lounge looks like a good bar to hangout at at night down street 136. Lots of room, multiple floors and hopefully some quality pussy. Im told by some girls working in Mr Butterfly that it is temporary closed due to lack of visitors from Thailand due to the curfew.

Riverside

The riverside runs along preah sisowath quay and is a nice area to relax, watch the day go by and there are some quality restaurants selling western food and cold beer. You can also get a cooked breakfast along the riverside and I stop off in an Irish pub restaurant called the Paddy Fields.

What you wont find are any bars with bar girls directly on riverside.

Riverside

Lots of normal tourists and traveller types you will mix with down the riverside. Before 2005, Phnom Penh was more the refuge of the sexpat and those on visa runs from Thailand. Apparently, Lonely Planet declared Phnom Penh safe in 2002, all change.

Mongers like myself then started to cross the border from Thailand into Cambodia for something different. But now Phnom Penh is becoming popular with your mainstream tourists and happy chappy types who think they can get pussy for free wherever they roam. Like whats happened to Pattaya.

Turn right at the end of street 136 keep walking along riverside we are heading for street 130.

Street 130

The main attraction up street 130 is Sharky bar. It plays rock music and used to have lots of Cambodian and Vietnamese freelancers inside which means negotiable price and no barfines, unlike the hostess bars along street 136.

Sharky street 130

There are a few more hole in the wall bars along street 130 but not nearly as high concentration as street 136 or street 104 where we are heading next. Along street 130 there are a few places you can relax, kill an hour or two and take a massage maybe with some extras. Keep walking up street 130 to come to Phnom Penh central market.

Street 104

Turn round head back down to the riverside and turn left heading towards street 104. On your right across the road is where you can buy tickets to take a boat ride down the Mekong even into Vietnam, but for that you require a visa.

Street 104

Street 104 has the highest concentration of hostess bars in Phnom Penh. I remember a couple of names from my Phnom Penh mongering tour 2005 like the Rose bar. Not much happening in the daytime though down street 104. Looking forward to returning tonight when pussy hunting proper will begin.

Having a beer in all these bars and checking out the talent is going to be alot of beer, realistically if your drinking and want to find some pussy you can only really hit half a dozen hostess bars at most and get back to your hotel room in a fit state and hopefully perform.

Mission Not Complete

Last time I was in Phnom Penh I relied solely on the motorcycle riders to drop me around all the main bars and they patiently waited for you outside. Back then, I not have my bearings of all the main red light districts and the streets of Phnom Penh. Back then I was more concerned with safety, Phnom Penh was a little scary, not anymore though, it feels safe now.

But this time, today, I had done my bar reconnaissance around the mean streets of Phnom Penh. But unfortunately not found any quality Cambodian pussy during the day. Tonight, maybe a ride to street 104 or 136 and then walk around from there, checking out the bars. Check out the Rockit Reports – mongering map of Phnom Penh to get your bearings, if you not been to Phnom Penh before and planning a trip soon.

I take a ride back to my base the Hotel PC street 151 with sweat dripping off me from the heat and humidity, not ideal walking weather. I relax and cool off by the swimming pool have a few cold Angkor draft at the bar. I get chatting to an old French monger also staying in the PC Hotel and I think he wants to take me to his room and give me a good bumming! I will be giving him a wide birth from now. He actually reminded me of that French guy out of the deer hunter.

A man who says no to Champagne, says no to life…

Cambodia is an ex French colony and some of the French are starting to come back and open up businesses along street 51. This is why sometimes I like to keep my distance. You just got no history on someone you meet for the first time in a bar, alls you have is a gut feeling, your instinct. I retire to my room alone.
